Going Home

Leave the tears behind and say a little prayer
Set your sights to Heaven because I am going there
My time on earth was pleasantly full of joy and love
But it's time for me to go home to the Lord above
He's calling me and I can't resist
So before I go, I leave you with this
My family should know that I love them deeply
And for all my friends, I thank you sweetly
For all the times you've pulled me through
These last few words are left for you
Don't be sad, it don't end here
I will be watching over you so have no fear
We'll meet again when the time is right
But for now I must say goodnight
To me you're saints for the love you've shown
Now put a smile on because I am going home
